NA list is missing select and Huk, a bit sad about seeing Destiny and Tyler in it, neither of them are contenders, kind of boring. KR is missing DongRaeGu but otherwise as good as they could have got from MLG koreans, they're all great so no big deal. | ||

He also claims that no zergs beat him in late macro games and if he wants a macro game Idra will oblige him. | ||

bit of a side note: Damn the prize money at MLG is laugheble. I mean every MLG is stacked, they close the doors cause they cant let more people in. And like tens of thousends are watching their streams with commercials and thousands are paying for the HD streams. Still its like five grand for 1st place? I mean come on... I mean its like the monthly tournament at you're nearest pc cafe... damn shame... | ||

They are obviously aiming for as many viewers as possible since they are trying this new format. There is absolutely no reason for them to invite Destiny over players who have made it way further than him in past MLGs, if that wasn't the case. | ||

The Destiny v Idra is going to be fucking epic. And why is INcontrol there.... should be SeleCT or someone that will actually stand a chance... | ||

I don't believe Destiny deserves to be in these brackets but I guess he's there because he's popular. | ||

The same venture capital firm previously invested $25 million into the company in Series B funding in 2006. Prior to that, Major League Gaming gained $10 million in a Series A round from Ritchie Capital. Total? 42.5 million. Did you read the article clearly that i posted? Investment and profits are 2 different things right? If i'm wrong please correct me. | ||

Destiny did beat BOMBER in a bo3 in some event at one point not too long ago. Destiny beat Puzzle on stream several games in a row on multiple servers. He can definitely compete with the best. However, i do think that he needs to prove himself more at lan events. On another somewhat related subject, How good will destiny perform post patch once infestors get nerfed? | ||

NA gonna get raped. Out of curiosity who are the best in NA? Sadly even Idra isn't really a global contender any more, and he's probably the best non-Huk player to come from NA. | ||

DD: How much money have you taken in to date? MB: We have raised about $42.5M. You think it's a coincidence that the numbers are the same? Notice the terminology he used as well, "raised" instead of "earned". Raising money and earning money are two very different things. | ||

EU, however... it's really hard for me to tell, as all of them seem like good players, but I don't think Thorzain will make top 3. Ret, Sjow, and Nani all have a good shot I think, and definitely White-ra if he's in good form. | ||

Not even mentioning the somewhat obvious liquid favouritism - the entire goddamn roster of liquid is invited. I wonder why. Because tournament organizers are looking for viewers so that their sponsors are happy. The lineup is prett ideal for that. I would question the occlusion of Huk or MC, but that is probably schedule related. | ||
